# Zebra Haworthia (Haworthia attenuata)

> Haworthia attenuata is an iconic clumping succulent distinguished by its dark green, pointed leaves adorned with prominent white tubercles on both the inner and outer surfaces. Frequently confused with Haworthia fasciata, it is accurately differentiated by these white epidermal bumps that cover the entire leaf. It forms stemless rosettes that freely produce offsets, making it a resilient and highly adaptable houseplant.

## Light & Sun Exposure

Thrives in bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun. Harsh, direct midday rays can cause defensive reddish-brown leaf tanning or sunburn; adapts well to partial shade.

## Watering Schedule & Method

Apply the 'soak and dry' method. Water deeply only when the potting substrate is completely dry from top to bottom. Dramatically reduce watering in winter and never let water sit in the rosette center.

## Soil & Gritty Mix Formula

Highly porous, fast-draining mix composed of 60% mineral grit (pumice, lava rock, perlite) and 40% organic cactus/succulent soil.

## Cold Tolerance & Overwintering

-1°C (USDA Zone 9b)

## Propagation Methods

Readily propagated by separating rooted basal offsets (pups) during spring or early summer; can also be grown from individual leaf cuttings.
